Sustainable Tourism today is closely examined in indicators and impacts on the environment, culture and societies. Some indicate that the power of tourism contributes to economic growth, while others emphasize the negative impacts on ecosystems, indigenous societies and cultural heritage. Tourism is not only good or only bad, it can be good according to how it is planned, developed, managed and the good way to do it is called “Sustainable Tourism”.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"For many tourism agencies, it is repetitive to speak of sustainable tourism, but for our agency, which is 90% made up of indigenous people, it is exciting to always put all these guidelines into practice and become even more fully involved with sustainability. At present, we are related to the development of projects with the Colombian State, thus with the support of local and international foundations, indigenous and territorial organizations, environmental protection processes are carried out, emphasizing the ancestral knowledge that still persists in our millinery culture.<\/span><\/p>\n
